|The Monday Post| #30 – The Back to School Edition

August 19, 2019 by MP

“Education is the key to unlocking the world, a passport to freedom.” – Oprah Winfrey.

With the dawn of a new year school year upon us, I’ve rounded up my lucky 13 recommendations for back to school aka FALL. Yes, the term “back to school” has no effect on me right now, other than it means more traffic on my commute, but I know I’m not alone when I say there is a strong correlation between the term back to school and fall.

If you were to ask me what season is my favorite to dress for, I would 100% without a doubt answer fall. As I’ve gone through various phases in my life, it’s gone back and forth between summer and fall. The only thing I associate summer with now is HOT and HUMID, while fall usually gets a more accepted COOL and LESS HUMID (these are important things in the Houston area.)

Take a look below and feel free to message me with any questions you may have. Also, to make sure you never miss a post, make sure to sign up for my e-mail list. Don’t worry, I won’t spam your inbox into next year. It’s currently set to only send out my newly published blog posts.
